Easy to handle.......2007-08-04
I bought this camera for my mother at Christmas. She is a person who needs something VERY simple to operate, and it worked out very well for her. The display screen is not huge, but it's large enough for her average eye-sight.
Learning to take, review and delete photos was very quick for her. It took a lesson or two for her to learn how to download the images onto her computer.
I'm also impressed with the quality of the images. A nice, simple camera to carry around for any ocassion.
Eh.......2007-07-05
I have marginal experience with this product. I've owned it around 18 months and had mixed results.
Overall Ease of Use:
So long as it turns on, it's more or less point and shoot. No worrying about depth of field, aperture, etc, just aim and push the button.
A lot of people will talk about the different settings it has... action, close-up, etc. It's all crap. None of these exotic sounding features ever work like they're supposed to. For example, if you ever try to take a photo of a sunset or thundercloud, you will be very upset, because this camera doesn't understand when you want it to work like a plain old normal camera and not try to bump up the exposure. So if you do try, you end up with a well exposed foreground, and a background that is pale and washed out.
Also, the camera's sensor produces drastically different pictures depending which angle you have it aimed.
If you think you see cool clouds, the camera's sensor wants to blow things out, so to get them to look good, you must hold the camera at a bizarre angle that lets the proper amount of light in.
Reliability:
Low. If your Kodak batteries aren't just charged 5 minutes ago, you have about 20 shots you can take before it's drained. Then again, I went to a wedding and wanted to take some snapshots. I put some relatively fresh batteries in, put it in my pocket, and then found out I had accidentally turned it on and the batteries were dead. No Auto-Off there or anything, so my girlfriend and I hope we everyone else's pictures turned out well.
General Picture Quality:
Depends... mediocre to bad. As everyone says, if you're in a low lighted room, you're screwed... unless you use flash, when you can be screwed because the camera loves to overexpose when you use flash. I've noticed if you go into the menu and manually turn down the low light compensation you can get your pictures to look better. Even in this situation, the flash has a tendency to give everything in the room the same amount of light, annoyingly flattening the image.
If you're lucky enough to be in a bright situation, you STILL have to be careful, as the camera seems to have a nack for picking up a lot of UV haze. You'll take a picture and then wonder why everything is so friggin foggy. Additionally, you will also remark aloud of this when you try to view a picture at its full 5 megapixel resolution.
I still have to experiment a bit with the ISO adjustments that can be made to the camera (which sounds like a pretty good amount of control to have for such a dinky camera), but almost all pictures taken with this camera have a ridiculous amount of grain and fog. It just looks like you've zoomed in 200% on a 2.1 mp photo. It's my opinion that the camera's CCD provides its best output when you save your pictures at 2.1mp.
As a matter of fact, one of the best pictures I've ever taken in my life is the result of this camera at 2.1mp. Lit from the side with ambient light, it was perfect.
Video Function:
Like gritty 8mm footage, but not so smooth. My camera's mic distorts on high frequencies too now, so that anytime I record voice, it makes me sound like I have a lisp. This is fun for birthday cake blowing out footage, but I can't imagine ever wanting to record anything important with it.
Included Software:
Installed it once and regretted the hassle it made every time I wanted to look at my photos. With my new computer, I just use the Windows software.
Included Printer:
Never used it. It makes a lovely charger though.
Overall Opinion:
This camera, if you're looking for snapshots and willing to sift through to find the goodies is good. It's not consistent, but if you're lucky and careful, you CAN make some gems with it. Those looking for crystal clear resolution, spend more money, maybe get a Canon or a Nikon... you'll be happier in the end.
For more artistic control for less money, go out and buy a film SLR for 50 bucks at a pawn shop. Get a photo CD made when you develop your film.
Kodak Easy Share Camera and Printer Dock.......2007-05-27
This product is wonderful, wonderful..So easy to use, don't need a computer, portable, so handy for vacation use,
The price was very resonable, and the quality excellent.. I will be purchasing another one very soon..
Good quality and inexpensive, but a little heavy on the batteries.......2007-05-25
I bought my Kodak Easyshare C340 a little over a year ago, and have been using it primarily as a tool for photos I upload to my website (see link in my Amazon profile for photos taken with this camera).
For an occasional user like me (1 - 2 photo sessions a month), I've found the C340 to be a great choice. It is easy to use, and the supplied software works well. It takes great quality photos with good detail and color. I've found it works well indoors and outdoors, in both low light and bright light situations. It is adequate for close-up work and works very well for family gatherings and landscape shots.
The 1GB SD card supplied with the camera is good for my particular needs, and the camera's optical + digital zoom works well.
My two complaints about the camera are:
First, the batteries seem to go dead rapidly, even if the camera is turned off and not being used. I can count on needing new batteries with almost every photo session. It uses up batteries much faster than competng units I've seen in the same price range, or in higher price ranges.
Second, in high-light or low-light situations, it is almost impossible to see anything useful in the digital viewer: the viewer is very washed out or very dark (even though you can be reasonably certain the final image will turn out well).
At the time I bought this unit, I felt it was the best quality unit available in its price range. Overall, I have been very satisfied with it and have no problems recommending it to others looking for a good, inexpensive and easy to use camera. 4 stars!
LOVE the Camera and Printer Dock.......2007-02-22

Amazon.com Product Description
Five, 150-watt compact speakers and a high-performance powered subwoofer make up Polk Audio's RM20 compact home theater speaker system. The sculpted anodized-aluminum satellites were designed for minimal intrusion into your space, and maximum sound quality. The front, center, and satellite speakers feature Polk's patented Power Port bass venting technology. This venting, hidden under the removable grilles, extends and strengthens the speaker's lower-midrange performance for a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. The included 12-inch, 100-watt powered subwoofer with slot-load venting dramatically lessens turbulence, noise, and distortion, for precise, thunderous bass.
Position your speakers perfectly with swivel wall-mounting brackets with hidden wire channels. Also, the center channel speaker features a cradle that aims the speaker toward the listener, from above or below the TV. Threaded inserts on the back of the satellite and center speakers allow use of fully articulating brackets (sold separately). The RM20 front satellites come with custom-designed desk or shelf stands with hidden wire channels.
Front and center speakers feature dual, 3.5-inch mineral-filled polymer Dynamic Balance midrange drivers that produce clear, distortion-free midrange even at high volume levels. The .75-inch Dynamic Balance silk/polymer-composite dome tweeter broadcasts sweet highs and lifelike imaging. Dynamic Balance technology produces flat frequency response, sharp detail, transparency and an ability to play program material with wide dynamic range at life-like volume levels without a hint of strain. The sound is always clean, clear and effortless.
All of the satellites feature five-way binding posts. Plus, they're magnetically shielded for safe placement near your state-of-the-art TV or video monitor with no risk of video distortion. The subwoofer has stereo line level (filtered) and single LFE (unfiltered) inputs plus speaker level inputs.
